(1) Fuse puller
The fuses are also located under the
driver’s side of the dashboard. Remove the
fuse box lid by pulling it off. To remove a
fuse, use the fuse puller provided in the
fuse box.
The fuse information is detailed in “FUSES
AND PROTECTED CIRCUITS” section.

NOTE:
Make sure that the fuse box always carries
spare fuses.
Headlight AimingSince special procedures are required, we
recommend you take your vehicle to your
SUZUKI dealer for headlight alignment.
WARNING
Always be sure to replace a blown
fuse with a fuse of the correct amper-
age. Never use a substitute such as
aluminum foil or wire to replace a
blown fuse. If you replace a fuse and
the new one blows in a short period
of time, you may have a major electri-
cal problem. Have your vehicle
inspected immediately by your
SUZUKI dealer.

54G27-03E
If the Starter Does Not
Operate1) Try turning the ignition switch to the
“START” position with the headlights
turned on to determine the battery con-
dition. If the headlights go excessively
dim or go off, it usually means that
either the battery has run down or bat-
tery terminal contact is poor. Recharge
the battery or correct battery terminal
contact if necessary.
2) If the headlights remain bright, check
the fuses. If the reason for failure of the
starter is not obvious, there may be a
major electrical problem. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
If the Engine is FloodedIf the engine is flooded with gasoline, it
may be hard to start. If this happens, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it there while cranking the
engine. (Do not operate the starter motor
for more than 15 seconds).
If the Engine OverheatsThe engine could overheat temporarily
under severe driving conditions. If the High
Engine Coolant Temperature Warning
Light in the instrument cluster glows red
during driving:
1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and
park.
3) Let the engine run at the normal idle
speed for a few minutes until the engine
is cooled down to the normal tempera-
ture.
You can determine the engine tempera-
ture is normal by either condition below:
– Both High Engine Coolant Tempera-
ture Warning Light and Low Engine
Coolant Temperature Light have gone
off.
– Low Engine Coolant Temperature
Light is lit in blue, and High Engine
Coolant Temperature Warning Light
has gone off.
See “High Engine Coolant Temperature
Warning Light” and “Low Engine Coolant
Temperature Light” in the INDEX for further
information.
